Like this idea, when I tried to make the Camden Bowl (more or less same idea) I stitched the inner edge. Probably contributed to the bowl shape. Will definitely try this one…. thanks Lyn

Brilliant that Carol was able to show the finished quilt to Carl from Panicos, it was lovely. I have Already read her Blog. Love your purchases. As a Moda designer I love Robin Pickins and have some of that range already on order from Shelagh Folgate at Moda Fabric Treasures. I will have to find Japan Crafts online because I love that charm pack with Shibori inspired fabric. I have already bought the ruler that Juliet Nice designed for UKQU but it will be interesting to see what you and Andy come up with in the future.

Thanks Teresa.

What a great wall hanging! I like the fabrics used especially as they were scraps. I am glad you enjoyed doing this, it is good to learn new tricks. Recognised the Humber Bridge from your interpretation. I really liked doing mine too. Like you, I am looking forward to the next challenge. Home we have more of these Famous Places!
